Anuvah Batman!
Tuesday, July 7, 2009I woke up today happy. I had corned beef omelette, piniritong isda and atcharang ampalaya for brunch. I was tightly hugged goodbye and I went to Starbucks and spent hours studying for my preliminary exams. When hunger struck at 9pm, I went home for dinner. Rebecca’s sinigang na baboy made me even happier that I was looking forward to such a heavenly slumber.
Then I went online. Big mistake.
I found my recent ex, who just turned older last weekend, online at Facebook. The happy me thought that despite the drift, it would be polite to greet him anyway even if it’s a few days late.
G: “Belated happy birthday.” ENTER key. “I wish you good health and better grades.” ENTER key.
This came out of the screen: “Mark Anthony Arciga is now offline.”
LESSON LEARNED:
Common courtesy is not inherent. Kaya ‘wag nang i-greet and dapat hindi i-greet. Wag nang mag wish ng good health and better grades dahil iba na ang panahon ngayon. Iba na din ang gusto ng mga tao. As Gelo eloquently put it, ipagluksa na lang natin si Michael Jackson dahil hinding-hindi na siya magbi-birthday kahit kailan.
AMEN!
